I HOPE the club and Mikel Arteta can sort things out, but if he does go I wish him all the luck for the future.

He is a gentleman and has only given his best for the club.

REGARDING all the speculation surrounding Mikel Arteta’s future at Everton, if the rumour is “he wants to return to Spain”, why is Arsene Wenger mentioned as a bidder for him and which clubs are likely to start a 'bidding war'?

I can't see any Spanish teams starting one.

REGARDING the plans by Everton to build luxury homes on the site of the former training ground at Bellefield, the land should have been donated to the young people of this city who are not rich kids but would like the opportunity to play football.

Or, the land should have been left as a green open space.

THE Yak is being linked with a move away from Goodison this summer, with primarily West Ham looking to land the Nigerian striker.

Rumours have it that David Moyes doesn't want to sell and has already turned town a bid of £7m.

Would a fee of around £9m be too good to turn down for a player who Everton paid £11.25m for three years ago and has struggled to fully recover from a bad injury?

ANY money we might lose on Yakubu won’t be significant because his goals have been worth that since we bought him.

It’s just a shame that he will never really be the player he was so take the money because we now have so many strikers on the books we won’t be able to keep them all happy.

I SEE the fixtures printed for next season’s football matches but I think there is no point in playing derby matches if there will be referees like Graham Poll.

He admitted he disallowed a good match-winning goal for Everton against Liverpool in April 2000.

He said he is a huge fan of Steven Gerrard and reading the article, Steven Gerrard is a huge fan of Graham Poll giving him a signed shirt and sending him a text message when he made his refereeing blunder at the World Cup in 2006.

CONGRATULATIONS have to go out to Everton for the fair prices they are charging for the Everton Chile friendly match at Goodison Park.

Just £7 for season ticket holders and £3 for under-16s and over-64s represents great value and hopefully guarantees a full house and rocking atmosphere for this unique match.

Everton will probably make more money this way than if they had charged full price, as more fans will turn up.
